Picture the scene - my first/orientation day at Talair - myself and another chap who joined the same day are standing near the door of the Hangar at GKA killing time between picking up uniforms/paperwork etc and Herr Baron Helliadore von Tschuchinigg comes storming out of the Chief Engineer's office ranting as he walks past.
"Zee only non productife peeple in zis company are zee fcking engineers und zee fcking pilots".
Later that day the CP told us "The mood Helly and Dennis are in at the moment if you so much as scratch the paint on an aircraft you'll be sacked instantly"
Luckily it was quite a few years later when I ripped the nose gear out of an Islander
